I've been playing with AI trying to design a logo. This may or may not be it. A voice in my head is telling me this isn't the way the peaks line up in real life. Another voice is telling me if I stood in just the right spot, this just might be a close alignment. My Mom's voice (yes, she's still in my head) is telling me to stop overthinking it. 🤔

Take note, everyone who has complained that today's kids can't read or write cursive: 3 Montana girls have developed an app called "Cursive Create," which teaches its users to do just that. They won a small scholarship in the state competition, and the chance to submit it to a national app design competition.
They're raising funds for the trip, now.

I could call it “done”, but I can’t help thinking it needs something. I quilted the orange star with a medium gray thread, but maybe I need to pull it out and quilt it with black? 🤔

When the pastures are green in the springtime And the birds are singing their sonnets, You may look to the hills and the valleys And they're covered with lovely Bluebonnets. Blue is the emblem of loyalty, They're as blue as the deep, deep sea, Their smiling faces bring gladness, For they bloom
